Hi Avni,
Welcome to your personalized GritLab report. We will go week to week, reviewing evertything you have told us through PollEv.
He hope this will be helpful to you to reflect now that GritLab is done.
Here's how you started. On week one, after learning the basics of grit:
You rated your passion as Stage 3: I'm actively figuring out what my interests are by trying one or more of them out in some way
...and your perseverance as Stage 5: Other people would tell you that I not only hold myself to a standard that is higher than what is explicitly asked of me, I also actively seek feedback about how to improve.
Here's a graph:
Then, you learned about goal setting, planning and deliberate practice.
You established a wish, its assocaited outcome, identified potential personal obstacles and planned accordingly, using implementation intentions.
Did it go according to plan?
And here is how much you learned
On week four, we discussed feedback.
You told us that you felt criticized" when recieving negative feedback,
...and "validated" when recieveing positive feedback.
We then turned into stress and failure.
On week 5, you reported feeling " a lot" of stress in your life right now, the primary source of it being midterms.
We discussed the impact of different stress mindsets.
You said that it is false that the effects of stress are negative and should be avoided,
...and that it is false that stress facilitates learning and growth.
Research has found that people who that stress can facilitate learning and growth experience enhanced performance, well-being and health.
We also talked about adversity and failure.
They differ because one has personal responsibility over failure, not adversity.
Perhaps that is why you said that failure had made you feel disappointed.
On week six, we talked about mentors, and you remembered someone who fit into the category: other.
Here's how you described him or her.
You also wrote a gratitude letter to a friend.
On week eight, we talked about interest.
You saw this picture.
You rated it as 6/10 in enjoyment,
5/10 in interestingness,
and 4/10 in novelty.
